An animated mind melt into a post human New York where TV and animals rule.

"Psychic Gibbon" by Younger Brother

I found this album by emancipator to be the perfect companion to a cold snowy day, and thought I'd share it in case someone else is looking for something intricate and wintery to listen to:

part 1
i want to take you to the land of bliss
because you're here, you're alive
in this moment, let it all go
there is nothing wrong right here right now
you are complete
you are perfect in a lovely imperfect way
freedom comes from inside
the depths of dark loveliness
enjoy it
enjoy every part of it
there's no reason not to
if your mind objects
tell it this is a vacation

I had some fun yesterday playing with the fall foliage and the setting sun, and thought I would share the photos.

One of my favorite pieces from "Art Psalms" by Alex Grey.
-------------------------------------------

I acknowledge the privilege of being alive 
in a human body at this moment, 
endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, 
and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect;

It is the prayer of my innermost being 
to realize my supreme identity 

On the topic of living in smaller spaces – two links worth checking out from GOOD magazine:

Think your apartment is small? Check out this gallery of people living in Hong Kong hi-rise tenements. Their apartments are small. 100 square feet, to be exact. Your apartment is, in fact, quite spacious.
